I say it sucks and I'm not on the bandwagon. Trust me I have Vista on my laptop, home premium 32bit service pack2 and it is terrible. It's atrociously slow! My laptop's specs are 1gb ram, intel core duo 2ghz processor, and like 100 gbs of hard disk storage. My old computer running Xp with pentium4 processor and 504 mb of ram runs at least three times as fast as my laptop.

Well that there's your problem.Also, why the fuck would you necro-bump this?

So if I don't have enough ram then how does it run slower than my other computer with a fraction of the ram? Also I didn't check the dates, I'm sorry for necro bumping it.

Other computer run XP? XP's requirements are lower.

For all MS's posturing about Windows 7 running better on low end hardware than XP, I've not seen it. I've had machines run perfectly fine on XP and choke with 7. For most situations, Vista = 7 performance wise.

Vista's problem wasn't that it was a shit OS. It was a decent OS being loaded on shit hardware. That combined with the new driver model (an overall good thing) and UAC (Vista's only real "problem" IMO) created a bandwagon of Vista hate.

Yeah my other computer runs XP. Thanks, so if I switch to Xp my laptop will run faster than it does on Vista. I may just have to try it.

You can't just willynilly switch OS'. You have to make sure the Drivers are available first.EDIT: If you're already running 32 Bit just upgrade the RAM instead of going backwards with an OS that you can't get licenses for anyhow.

What Dogg3 said, just invest in a new laptop/pc. It'll be worth it in the long run.

Maybe with the GPU, but seriously why the hell did you go with a 550w PSU?

Nothing wrong, it will be fine, but I like to future proof with something 600w or more. That way you will be ready for any reasonable upgrade as long as it's not like Quad SLI.

It's like buying a good case so you can use it for many builds.

This. Just makes more sense from a builders perspective.
